Over the past 25 years, Peter Thurin has developed a high level of business expertise and through his many outstanding sporting accomplishments, has developed a keen insight into what focuses, motivates and inspires people to achieve their best.
While grounded in the fundamentals of business and life development, Peter’s enthusiastic, humorous and engaging style brings to life the key messages of every Blackbelt in Excellence session.
Over more than 20 years as a successful businessman and Melbourne pharmacist, Peter has put into practice the very principles he now espouses, to grow and develop his own employees and businesses.
As a former international Australian tennis representative, current coach and administrator of Australia’s largest junior AFL club, and 3rd Dan Blackbelt in the martial art of Taekwondo, Peter has learnt the true meaning of focus, discipline and motivation. Just as importantly, Peter has built a happy and successful family life with his wife Sharon and their three growing children, all of whom are embracing the concepts of excellence and balance in their young lives.
Driven by his belief in the importance of continuing personal growth and development, at the age of 36 Peter set himself a goal to learn the martial art of Taekwondo and achieve his Blackbelt before his 40th birthday.
Through dedication and commitment, Peter achieved his goal, often through necessity training at 4am. Peter continues to train today and in just a few short years has achieved the rare and highly respected level of 3rd Dan Blackbelt (he’s 45 in case you were trying to work it out!).
Since developing the Blackbelt in Excellence program, Peter Thurin has undertaken key workshop facilitation and MC roles, and delivered many successful keynote and motivational presentations within leading organisations such as KPMG, Telstra, Faulding, Isuzu-General Motors Australia Ltd and many others.
Peter is a dynamic, humorous and professional speaker and facilitator. Peter demonstrates a rare ability to combine his insight, skills and experience to help people achieve their own personal Blackbelt in Excellence, and maximise their effectiveness to your organisation.
WHY TAEKWONDO?
The fundamental principles of Taekwondo – focus, discipline, personal confidence and fun underpin the pursuit of excellence in our personal and business lives.
As a unique offering of the Blackbelt in Excellence program, Taekwondo can be incorporated into any workshop or presentation to strategically demonstrate and reinforce the key messages of the development or motivational topic you have identified for your sessions.
During such sessions, extraordinary levels of positive energy and camaraderie are generated individually and as a group, participants break down many of their own personal barriers. An outstanding confidence and team building experience, the integration of Taekwondo into development sessions provides a unique and powerful development tool.
Within the sessions, Taekwondo activities may range from simple self defence moves and stretches through to more challenging punching and kicking sequences - and in some sessions, the breaking of boards! If you choose to include Taekwondo in your sessions, the amount of Taekwondo activity and level of difficulty can be tailored to suit the needs of your participants and type and size of the session and venue.
Workshops, for example, can be an ideal forum for higher levels of active involvement by participants, while presentations at conferences and seminars may include just simple stretches and self defence or if appropriate, remain Taekwondo-free.
A powerful people and business development program.
Following each workshop or presentation, Peter will personally present to you feedback on the session/s – the outcomes, issues that arose during the program and opportunities for further development within the participating group.
In addition, the Blackbelt in Excellence ‘Module Program’ is a valuable alternative to stand alone workshops or presentations. Designed to guide a specific group of people through a structured business and personal development process, the Module Program is ideal for the development of new or established teams.
Uniquely, this series of inter-related workshops explores a number of development or training topics that can include an active session of Taekwondo increasing in complexity throughout the program. A rewarding and highly motivating experience.
